This last weekend I stopped my current projects to get this done in a hurry. Originally I was asked for ideas on making a board for my bosses birthday, like she makes for us. Here is an idea of what that looks like, it's at the very bottom of the post Valentines day and my birthday. This seemed boring, and yet time consuming. A quick discussion with a co-worker validated my thought of doing something a bit more permanent and lasting with my time.

My boss not only loves Hawaii, but rainbows, not the "hi, I live an alternative lifestyle" rainbow but the promise of God to never flood the earth again kind. Since I was looking for an honest rainbow, I went with the most translucent and iridescent representation I could. Also, I feel it is important to let you know that the beach is really not so yellow in reality, but I'm having a challenging time with color correcting here.

The base was done with an airbrush, along with the clouds and the rainbow. The rest of the painting was done with traditional brush work.

What ever you do, give it your best. Find the beauty in the world around you.

About Me

I love finding objects and making them more than they seem to be. Mixing life and nature, color and shadow.
I work with several mediums, trying to think out side the box rather than trying to conform to one technical type.
Creation, experimentation and exploration are the best parts of
being an artist. I hope to inspire emotions and stir the imagination.
Believing that all is possible.
